Fail Creating directory

[apogeus...@gmail.com]

Hi:

Can you tell me why I cannot create this directory with root id ?

solaris # mkdir /export/home/john
mkdir: Failed to make directory "/export/home/john"; Permission denied
solaris# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)

[Franco]

try mkdir -p /export/home/john

If that doesnt work, check permissions on /export

[apogeus...@gmail.com]

I issued this command without success:

solaris> # id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
solaris> # mkdir -p /export/home/john
mkdir: "/export/home/john": Permission denied
solaris> # ls -alF /export
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 3 root sys 512 May 10 2006 ./
drwxr-xr-x 50 root root 2048 May 15 09:28 ../
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 512 Apr 8 11:44 home/

Is /export/home an NFS mount point? What do you get from:

cd /export/home ; df .

by solaris default installation, it is a automounted dir.

Try disabling autofs and retry the mkdir.

svcadm disable svc:/system/filesystem/autofs:default

You can't write to the filesystem. Either it is mounted read-only or
it's an NFS mount; I'm guessing the latter.
